Richard W. Hamming Annual Faculty Award Honorees
The Richard W. Hamming Faculty Awards honor Naval Postgraduate School faculty members who demonstrate a commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and to exceptional teaching skills.
Hamming Teaching Award honorees are recognized at the September graduation awards ceremony.
This award is established with resources provided by Mrs. Wanda Hamming, widow of Professor Richard W. Hamming, and sponsored by the Naval Postgraduate School Foundation.
The purpose of this award is to recognize a member of the faculty at NPS who has done an excellent job in the classroom as evidenced by the students' mastery of the course material; thesis supervision; and has contributed to NPS students' education beyond the classroom. It complements the Schieffelin Award by emphasizing excellence beyond the classroom. (NPSINST 1650.lG, 23 May 19)
